all of those characters did not just appear all at once, they were dripped in over several updates. this also resulted in longer periods of time where characters got ignored for awhile, and in some cases ignored at rather pivotal situations that made no sense to get ignored over. The cast expansion wasn't badly done though, but it definitely had these issues popping up time to time.Eh, one cast expansion two years ago is not what I would call a feature creep, on the account of the lack of creep. It becomes a real problem when new characters just keep appearing one update after another, because it indicates the lack of an overall plan and the author just repeating the beginnings of character arcs instead of developing them further and/or moving the plot. Just expanding the scope of the game has its own difficulties, but at least the game can still be on rails to completion.
as for feature creep that is actually considered bad in this game by a lot players. it does have some gimmicky 'minigames' add in features like 'care packages' and its starting to get a bit... much. anymore than this and i think it would cross the tipping point.
i wonder if sel ever considered just calling the 'care packages' what they are as loot boxes and attach a random number generator to it so you have no clue what feature you get in the box when people purchase it, you know go full EA games on it
